Its never the darkskins fault. If seeing blacks on the news keeps whites from being robbed then what are they worried about?

It reminds me of a disgusting commercial they used to have on t.v where a white woman and a black woman were walking and talking casually and when they got on the elevator,two thug lookin negroes got on there with them and one of them had his walkman on blasting gangster rap and they both had really mean looks on there faces and were staring at the white woman.The white woman then hugged her purse a little tighter to her body and the black woman noticed it and made a disgusted face. when they got off the elevator they were talking and the black woman asked "what was that all about?" the white woman replied "what are you talking about?" and the black woman said "the purse thing" the white woman said "i dont know i guess its just a natural reaction" in which the negress said "ya..well not to me" and then stormed off. then they showed the white woman with a look of remorse on her face. and then they had the nerve to have a narrator say "you never know when your racism will hurt those around you" I was like

Ignoring the glaring statistical realities to further her pretend "scholarship".

yes i agree VigoIndy what a waste of time and effort . MB~[She also intends to examine how imported media, in this case U.S. television programs, impacts the perceptions of groups with which the audience has little direct contact.] Hey MB lets just save everyone some time US Media TV destroys all who watch .I thought every one knew this fact.

If more blacks are pulled over by the police it is racial profiling; if more blacks are imprisoned it is because the justice system is prejudiced; if more blacks make the news for acts of crime it is media stereotyping. Enough already.

If it is ANYTHING, negroes are being UNDERREPRESENTED in the news media when it comes to crime. I live outside of memphis, which is a majority black town, the 3 news stations routinely report crimes, and NEVER give a description of the suspect. Now sometimes they do just because they have to, and it would be too obvious if they didn't every now and then, but they will run a story about a bank robber who was caught on tape, and then left and raped a women, but will never give the race of the attacker. It will read something to this effect.

"Bank robber caught on tape, blah, blah, blah. Police need your help in finding a man about 6 feet tall, 160 pounds wearing baggy jeans and a white t shirt. If you have any information, please notify the memphis PD."

What kind of crap is this? I know this goes on in cities ALL over the country, so to say they are over represented is an outright lie.
